No, no PCV for this set up, but if it will help then I guess I'll look into getting the parts to install one. Here are photos of what's there as of now:

Do you have a PCV valve? If not, then you may be seeing some condensate buildup which a PCV valve system will help to mimimize.

Heres an update, finally got her running again last night. I ended up taking the harmonic balance off, the timing cover off, replacing the timing chain and sprockets, cleaning and degreasing all of the sludge in there, painting up the cover and oil pan and such, rebuilding my balancer and reinstalled everything. As this went on I also replaced my intake manifold, cleaned and painted my valley cover replaced my transmission fluid and added a cooler, and replaced the radiator. So, yeah, took my about 5 months but was completely worth it.

So far not much water in my oil (See last paragraph)

I'm thinking the water in the oil problem was my fault. Probably got in through a busted road draft tube gasket in the valley cover when I flushed the block with a hose. Man I feel stupid.

Anyway, as she's been running the past few days, I've noticed very small trace amounts of "milky" oil on my dipstick. Not much, but it's there. Is this the residual contaminated oil that is being flushed out of orifices by the new oil? I have to say, I'm pretty paranoid. But overall the oil looks very clean and healthy.

On the topic of timing sprockets, here's a video of mine that I removed today. Do they look too worn?

And while I have all of this off, are there any other seals to replace? Here are a few photos of the area:





And Happy 4th of July!

Here's a thought: The road draft tube gasket is bad on my engine. Could the water have gotten in from there?

No worries. I work slowly, I removed it because he and many other suggested it. And buying a new chain as I type.

Not trying to be a Smart A$$ but I believe Jeff mentioned the timing chain cover in second post of this thread, a month ago...

The timing chain is looking a little worn, I'd replace it.

A leak around the water passages in the front cover would be a problem. As far as the timing chain goes it would be silly not to change it while you are there. It could run for a long time as is and it could jump teeth tommorrow. Why take the chance. Chuck

Hey guys, I took the timing cover off today. Hopefully this solves my oil in water problem.

It does have antifreeze at the moment. I had reflushed the block and filled it with fresh oil and 50/50 antifreeze.
